Episode 349 - Total Saints Podcast

Welcome to Episode 349 of the Total Saints Podcast – your home for all things Southampton Football Club!Saturday brought another frustrating away day for Saints, as a depressingly familiar performance ended in a 2–1 defeat at Oxford United. Despite dominating possession, Saints once again lacked tempo, incision, and defensive control — conceding late to leave fans asking some uncomfortable questions.Is the early new-manager bounce already fading?Are Saints becoming too predictable again?And has the January transfer window suddenly become even more important?Neil Crespin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour, and Alfie House to pick apart what went wrong at Oxford, why Saints struggled to turn possession into threat, and whether this is a wobble to ride out — or a warning sign that deeper issues are resurfacing.The panel also looks ahead to a quick return to action away at Birmingham, just weeks after Saints beat them at St Mary’s, with suspensions and injuries for Blues adding extra intrigue to Monday night’s clash.We also confirm details of an exciting upcoming Total Saints Podcast Live Show at St Mary’s Stadium on Thursday 22nd January 2026, in partnership with the Saints Foundation.Patreon members will receive first access to tickets, with more details coming very soon.Patreon: https://patreon.com/TotalSaintsPodcastMerch: https://shop.totalsaints.co.ukSocials: @TotalSaintsPod Hosted on Acast.
